Our June Common Ground event is cancelled (we’re deep in our moving process!)

In place of this event, we encourage you to attend programming this week with Berkshire Cultural Resource Center:

Wednesday, June 24 at 5pm | Join us for a conversation about Analogous Colors by artist, Titus Kaphar. This is the current cover of TIME magazine. You may use this link to access the accompanying written work. We at Gallery 51 are committed to creating safe spaces for discourse and dialogue with, about and through art. If not now, then never will we be able to engage in honest discussion about race and the experience of Black and Brown people in this country. Join us in exploring this piece through the lens of our nation's recent events. Let us use art as the vehicle to create and sustain non-judgmental dialogue with an opportunity to learn from one another's observations. We will be using Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) to lead the discussion. The link to register for this zoom session is here. 

Thursday, June 25 at 5pm | In lieu of the Misfit Prom & Parade launch party, previously scheduled for this time, Gallery 51 is proud to host 51 Minutes and 14 Seconds of Black Protest Music. Tracing back to slave spirituals, Black protest music has been an integral part of social protest, reform, and empowerment. Join us in solidarity as we listen and pay tribute to all of those who have been a part of this movement.
DJ Skooch will play examples of the music created and written in protest of racial inequality of African Americans in the US. Use this link register for the zoom session on Thursday June 25 at 5 p.m. EST.
